Flaps and Chats - Helen Coneyworth-Smith - Bog

A true story about coping and dealing with the many different emotions felt from bereavement and grief.
Flaps and Chats follows the sad, traumatic but also liberating, and sometimes hilarious, journey of the author 'going it alone' after the loss of her beloved husband, her mother-in-law and finally her own mother.
From Chatlines to affairs, from dating apps to swinging clubs, from foot fetishes to random sexual encounters. Free-falling into a hedonistic but unrealistic and unsustainable lifestyle.
Eventually realising that grief can manifest itself emotionally and physically, along with crazy, irrational behaviour. Almost to the extent of pushing that self-destruct button in life and not caring about the outcome. Constantly looking for that 'quick fix' as a distraction, to numb any emotion and pain felt in the aftermath of bereavement.
This book has short, sharp chapters reliving events with a no holds barred approach. Flaps and Chats tells the story of the high sexual euphoria of being wanted followed by the downward spiral and lows of depression and despondency soon afterwards.
This book will have you feeling a mix of many emotions including laughter, tears and amazement.
